Damn bro, thanks.

Damn I have been living Asia for a few years, not a big sports fan but I would love to attend a major or minor league baseball game or an NFL game (I imagine football is worse). In baseball my worst fear would be a crack of the bat but yes the between action organ and other music sounds like it...

How bad is New Year's eve in Manila? How can I protect myself? Thanks!

Electronic earmuffs--never heard of that? Where? Who? When? Or you can wear your best ear plugs and ear muffs--may not be able to hear well but more protection from the noise.

I have had tinnitus, hyperacusis and hearing loss since at least age 33, probably earlier... I am now 56, still single and it sucks... I live in Bangkok, Thailand and cannot do most of the nightlife due to not wanting my ears to get more damaged... As there are endless loud sounds here that...

This is why I avoid loud places. I live in Bangkok - it sucks that most of the nightlife is out for me but I hate drinking, I hate the kind of low lives that go to bars, I can't hear in those places and I constantly worry about hearing loss and tinnitus getting worse--also drinking increases...

Yes now I am 56 and one hot mess! Though I moved to Asia at age 54, graduated from college at age 41 and 53, became an actor in Hollywood in my 40s etc etc.

Great news!

THANK YOU!!

I think part of the reason for my life long shitty balance and my hearing loss is from: https://www.healthlinkbc.ca/health-topics/tf3616

Foam plugs as a back up, musician's for extreme noise, headphones for emergency, corded hard ones for day to day from Rite Aid or CVS, Etymotics for day to day.

Is this good or bad news ? Damage to the cochlea is serious news

Hey Everyone I am am American who lives in Bangkok and am currently checking out Miami as a place to live/move to. Both noisy cities--it would be great to find people to hang out with who will want to avoid loud places and not have to explain why we hate loud places. If anyone is in either...

Thanks I just posted to my 1000's of Twitter, Facebook and Linkedin followers... "Hearing loss is becoming an epidemic/pandemic and the general public as well as as businesses are ill informed as to the dangers of loud noise. The #1 disability veterans and former and current military suffer...

What's up Adilene ?)

I have hyperacusis -- since 1996.

I am in Bangkok, noisy AF but if you wanna hang with me I can show you quiet places.

Man you hit a nerve here for me... I live in Bangkok and it seems like I am the only white guy who cannot partake in the whole bar nightlife thing... I am back in the Bay Area, just went to a house party, DJ/dancing/put in the earplugs and danced up a storm for a brief time, then dragged a...

Do not over think it... If the noise gets loud move away or wear ear plugs... If still too loud even with ear plugs move further away... Live your life... We are all gonna be dead soon from something... Enjoy life NOW

He is scum. Always hated him.

Awesome. Thanks!

Scumbags. Disturbing.

Dunno man, it is not just tinnitus--it is hearing loss, recruitment, hyperacusis and balance issues all caused by loud noise... Hearing loss and tinnitus / hyperacusis also lead to depression, social isolation, suicide, dementia, anxiety, insomnia... Tinnitus and hearing loss are the leading...

I am amazed that there has not been more of a global effort to curb noise similar to efforts to curb pollution, drunk driving, drug use, drinking, unsafe sex, unsafe diets, sugar, poverty, cholesterol, being overweight, homelessness etc etc. Thoughts? Dave

Sad to hear.

22 years ago... I was more of a wild and crazy social party guy--tinnitus and hearing loss have severely restricted my social, personal and hobby related life and made me more depressed, withdrawn and in a constant state of grief over my deteriorating hearing and increasing tinnitus.... It's...

Yes 50 mg.

Amen dear.

yes as many companies especially tech ones that disrupt the field and innovate AND kill the hearing aid companies' monopolies all good to me..Would love to see Apple, Samsung, Google, Microsoft and many of the other tech, audio or start up firms to break the strangehold these hearing aid...

Agree we need a damn cure ! Maybe some other country will get to it 1st

Thanks...Hearing aids improve tinnitus BTW--they increase outside noise so you don't hear the tinnitus... and you strain to hear less

From Bose--they contacted me just now. "This announcement was made by the FDA, applying for their approval is one step in the process in bringing this future product to market. We can’t share more now but are excited about what’s in the works, that we hope will change the lives of millions with...

Cool. I am close to getting my 1st hearing aids--may hold. I am in communication with Bose trying to get a date when this will be for sale. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-bose-fda/u-s-approval-for-bose-hearing-aid-a-blow-to-traditional-makers-idUSKCN1MI1KP

Just a general survey: What kind of events do you attend/not attend, because of tinnitus? Thanks!

I got my issues at 33--thought that was young//Now I am 55-getting old sucks ass----hang tough--at least you are young man--got the rest of your life ahead of you

thanks awesome !

Beyond hearing aids, anyone have any idea how to reduce some of the problems that hearing loss causes, such as ADHD, depression, dementia and social isolation? How much and how did hearing aids help you? Meditation or mindfulness for better hearing or paying attention? Cognitive-behavioral...

Thanks everyone..I am at 75 mg of Zoloft.. 8 weeks total on the drug ...Ain't doing shit.>Also tried it like 15 years ago..And sexual side effects kicked in after a few days...Gonna taper......

Anyone hear anything good about them? Nessa Hearing

Awesome thanks--yes I am massively depressed myself

Hearing loss can lead to brain damage, Alzheimer's etc etc

Bro wow good deal on the aids... I live in Thailand close to India---tell me more--how you get them programmed, repaired, replaced if lost?

Thank you brother

Do meditate but expect no outcome..It should be one of the pillars of health along with diet, exercise, spirituality, a practice of gratitude and good sleep hygence

Low dose Ativan from time to time lowers tinnitus, depression, anxiety and makes sleep easier..>Meditation and massage and exercise have similar affects

I moved to Asia recently and a close fellow American who is smart as hell and has been a spiritual traveler has recommended I go back and watch the Secret again......It cannot hurt

Brilliant thank you

Tinnitus won't stop you from getting dates but hearing loss and the need to avoid loud places will greatly limit your social life....Hearing loss makes conversations hard to hear and increases social isolation which leads to depression and dementia...Tinnitus and hyperacusis DO go hand in hand...

American in Bangkok

Anyone have any recommendations where and what models/brands to buy in regards to hearing aids in Bangkok? Thanks!

pink noise. running water. ativan. meditation.

I have struggled with sleep issues for 42 years--tried it all...What works for you ?
